11. A girl was playing with a thin beam of light from her laser touch by directing it from different
directions on convex lens held vertically. She was surprised to see that in a particular direction the
beam of light continues to move along the same direction after passing through the lens. State the
reason for this observation.
12. What is the nature of the image formed by a concave mirror if the magnification produced by the
mirror is +3?
13. “The refractive index of diamond is 2.42”. What is the meaning of this statement in relation to
speed of light?
14. Which kind of mirrors are used in the headlights of a motor-car and why?
15. An object is placed at a distance of 25cm from the pole of a spherical mirror which forms a real,
inverted image on the same side of object at 37.5cm from the pole. Calculate the focal length of
mirror and nature of the mirror.
16. A convex mirror used for rear view on an automobile has a radius of curvature of 3 cm. If a bus is
located at 5 cm from this mirror, find the position, nature and size of the image.
